=Sculpey

Question: How long does it take you to make your Sculptures?
Answer: Well it all depends on what...something simple like the emo cats maybe 3-4 minutes sculpting each, baking is 10-20 minutes..(sometimes I bake shorter times than others to prevent burning), painting about 5 minutes - I use a hairdryer ^-^.

Question: How do you get the shine on your charms?
Answer: I use a glaze called Triple Thick Brush On Glaze by decoart. It's really good, I attach a hook or loop into my charm or whatever before I bake it and then when its done, painted, ready to shine, I get a longer piece of wiring and loop it through the hook, and dip it in the 8 fl. oz. jar of glaze. It usually takes oh about 10-15 minutes until you can put another coat on, but one works great for me, dries overnight.


=Drawings

Question: What program do you use for making your art?
Answer: Mostly Photoshop CS 2. Some Corel Painter(when I get my wacom pen yeahhhhh!! lol)

Question: Whats your favourite medium?
Answer: Photoshop CS 2. @__@

Question: 1. Do you ink your work before scanning them onto the computer? If so what pen's do you use?
(or do you use the pen-tool in photoshop or a graphic tablet)
Answer: I do, I use an ink pen - Pilot Precise V5 Extra Fine...it works well...it helps bring out the image a lot more when I scan it. Also I don't have to do complete borders and such on everything I draw and then scan. And a graphic pen...I do plan on buying a wacom soon...probably the Graphire. Even then, I'd probably (just for reference) ink it before I scan it .

Question: How long have you been drawing?
Answer: Oh since daycare...honestly...lol but serious art, ohh 3 years.

Question: What influences your style?
Answer: Mostly my mind, although I see something around here on dA I like and want to do, I do it.

Question: How long does it take to draw a pic/comic?
Answer: To actually draw it with pencil, it takes well...a comic..like nubbs, 10 minutes...something else maybe longer, usually not..it's rough. Then the inking and coloring on my pc...that can take 1 hour - 5 hours...depends on the depth of the picture..Something simple like nubbs...it only takes the time for adding text and all...I have photoshop select all the lines from the scan then I darken them in one or two clicks n__n

Question: Where did you come up w/ the inspiration for nubbs - specifically their nubby parts?
Answer: Wellll...I called my girlfriend nubby one day so I guess it just stuck...she's 5'4-5ish and I'm 6'3-4ish..(depending on the atmosphere) xP

Question: Do you prefer creating charms and other sculpted objects or digital work?
Answer: I will have to say both the same..maybe(maybe) more sculpting...but as you can see...I don't have all the effort sometime to work with something sooo tiny..lol...but little charms and such are cool because I can see them sitting around doing whatever they are doing right before they were....baked. XD

Question: I notice that your strenght is vector based imaging, do you think you'll venture into digital painting?
Answer: I will and plan on it. Vectoring is only a style not a limit. But yes I plan to do more once I get a wacom pen

Question: Do you have an online shop? If not would you ever think of opening one up and selling your charms or images?
Answer: Not yet..I'll post a *BIG* journal when I do! But I do plan on selling charms and other items...maybe mini prints of stuff

Question: Are you going to provide tutorials?
Answer: Yes I will, when I get a certain amount of requests, as they are kinda difficult sometimes.
